I get why people like them i just hate what they aspire to be. The rock band playing the royal variety performance.

Brutal. Remind me not to get on your wrong side :-)

I wouldn't bet on that. There's plenty of people who either (a) just don't like anything closer to the centre than indie or (b) like their rock far harder.

To be fair, I'm edging towards (b) myself, but I do appreciate the melody on this one - it's certainly not one where you take the lyrics too seriously.

I just like rock (and indie)....but they need to be 'harder' to be close to rock, in fact if they are rock, Duran Duran are Death Metal.
I'm quite liking their brand of pop though;)

I think there’s enough guitar work in there to put it in the general rock area but its definitely on the lighter end.

I put it on on a car drive to Wales with Mrs S.
Three tracks in I got ‘will you put that crap off’.

I will return to it hopefully

You consider indie close to the 'centre'? What weird spectrum is this, I ask.

Did you play her the Dynamic Duos playlist yet?

It’s far from crap and easy listening catchy rock- to want to turn it off is someone who’s got the hump!
